This is just another instance in when our childs rights have been

infringed on. I encourage all parents to email me privately on this

subject if they too like almost 1500 others that have responded, have

a disabled child in Special Ed that has been locked into seclusion,

isolation, and in a very dangerous place - as CNN reported..this is

not pretty. I've been there in person seeing things even worse then

what was shown..and also spoke for a family of a child that died in

it. This was 1997...are we going to keep reliving history..all we can

do is what we can do.. and it only takes a minute to register and vote

at :

And END this civil rights problem with Law, there already is law in

place for what happened at the 'melting pot' but if people do not file

the complaints that are necessary...the problem will never go away.

We must use our voice and be heard on every issue.
